**Soft drinks manufacturer, Britvic, has selected The Wildlife Trusts and Sported
as its new long-term community partners. The partnership is designed to reflect 
the company’s priorities of promoting active lifestyles, protecting the environment
and supporting local communities.**

support, employee volunteering support and fundraising activities.

Britvic’s previous corporate partner, Cancer Research, received £100,000 over the
three-year partnership. In 2015, Britvic’s employees raised over £288,000 for a 
variety of charities.

[Sported](http://www.sported.org.uk/) supports over 3,000 local sports groups across
the UK. Funding and volunteer support from Britvic will help Sported extend its 
services to even more community groups, and support sporting opportunities for disadvantaged
young people that are inclusive and accessible to all.

The 47 [Wildlife Trusts](http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/) across the UK work to protect
wildlife and encouraging people and families to get active outdoors, leading to 
better health and wellbeing. They care for around 2,300 nature reserves and advise
thousands of landowners and organisations on how to manage their land for wildlife.

Alison Rothnie, Senior Sustainability Manager at [Britvic](http://www.britvic.co.uk),
